AT CHRISTMAS TIME
Majority of. Men In Hospitals
Sacrificed Their Health In Unselfish Service To Nation and
All of Its People and We Owe

LET'S MAKE THEM HAPPY
[AN EDITORIAL]
A young married woman for whom
The Sun has the profoundest respect
came info the editorial room of this
newspaper or Monday morning and
'"•■said:
"Would it be asking too much for
a few lines in favor of the sick World
War, men in the hospitals in Massillon, Dayton and other parts of Ohio?
The American Legion and Legion
Auxiliary are doing everything in
their power to make these poor fellows more comfortable this Christ-
- mas, but they need the help of the
general public. We know The Sun has
always been generous with space when
dealing with World War men, and we
want you to know that we deeply appreciate it."
Duty of a Newspaper
Of course it ple.ases The Sun to
know that its effort in behalf of any
worthy cause is appreciated, but in a
large measure it is the duty of a
newspaper to get behind and push
any movement having for its object
the welfare of the sick veterans. Assuredly they have earned all the comforts of life. In the hospitals are men
whose health and strength were broken and whose bodies were warped-
beyond the power of self support in-
unselfish service to the nation and al)
of its people. The-ma jority gave to us
the means they should have for supplying themselves with the things that
f.re aids'to Christmas joy.
Let the Public Remember
And so that their sacrifice'will not
have been altogether in vain, The Sun
calls upon all the people to contribute
something and #thus help make these
poor fellows happy. If you think that
the boys-who sacrificed their health
and strength in your service earned
their meed of Christmas happiness,
call up a member of the Amei-ican
Legion or a member of the Legion
Auxiliary in the town in which you
live ancl your contribution will be recorded and the total used to the best
advantage in the purpose for which it
"was intended.
Told Without
Varnish
Charles J. Corey Will Stay In Canton
Is the Pleasing, News.
PASTOR OF ST. PAUL'S
WILL GET ASSISTANT
By BEN LONG
ANNOUNCEMENT was made orr
Friday that Charles J. Corey had
resigned as general manager of
the Troy Laundry company of Canton after 30 years service and would
take a "much needed rest."
The former president of the Canton Rotary club will not be lost to the
business world of that city, as it is
hia intention' to put on the harness
after his vacation. This is indeed
pleasing news. Charles J. Corey is too
valuable a man to enter permanent
retirement. Modest and unassuming,
possessed of a keen intelligence nutur-
ed by much reading and a quick responding wit, as his hundreds of
friends in Rotary where he is much
loved know, he has always been interested in the advancement of Canton
and this part' of Stark county, and his
work in assisting to develop the famous Troy Laundry company showed
his prodigious energy, his high character and his business genius.
t t t
IT WAS his boast, modestly uttered,
at a meeting in North Canton, that
"Our-laundry sticks to its ideals
and high standards, and although we
believe at times certain patrons seek
to take advantage of -us we never
question their veracity."
Mr. Corey's knowledge of the dry
cleanings of garments is profound, and
his expert advice is always at the call
of other.investigators.. With unparalleled generosity he gives freely of his
jjrofessipnal experience to everyone
;who approaches him. His analysis of
-every problem is clear and exhaustive.
.-■-it * t ^
His.-genius and force as an organizer are too well known to be explained
in this article. His spirit of friendship, a deep and generous regard for
the men round about him, his faithfulness, his quick force of feeljng for
others, place him is the first rank of
Canton's foremost citizens, and this
writer for The Sun is delighted to
hear that Charley Corey, one of Stark
county's most inspiring individual
forces, is going to remain in Canton as
an institution.

S. S. Empress of Russia, November
17, 1929.
Editors The Sun: Just a few words
about our journey as we are speeding
on our way to China.
The voyage has certainly been most
delightful this far, the weather has
been good and the sea fairly calm
with the exception of several days
when we were in a rather severe
storm. The mountainous waves were
rolling over the lower decks and the
wind was blowing with the force of a
typhoon, eighty miles an hour. We
were very fortunate in not being-
bothered with sea-sickness. . We felt
rather light-headed the first day or so
but we soon became accustomed to
the motion of the ship.
Lost a Day While Asleep
We had the unique experience of
only having six days in the first week
we were out of Vancouver. We crossed the 180th meridian from which
the international date is fixed, went
to bed Thursday evening and woke up
Saturday morning. All of our days
have been twenty-five hours long since
leaving because of the fact that we
are traveling west.
Our ship stopped at three ports in
Japan; Yokohama, Kobe, and Nagasaki. We took the train trip from Yokohama to Kobe and boarded our ship
again there to continue on our way.
We left Yokohama at 10:30 in the
morning- and arrived in Kyoto at 8:00
that evening.
It was our first experience of being
alone in a foreign country and what
a great time ive had. Miss Ruth Hammer, a former Canton, Ohio, girl,
working now in the Canadian Pacific
office at Yokohama, helped us in purchasing our railway tickets and she
was the last English speaking person
we saw that day. .

meantime, Father Kotheimer, will be
assisted.by.a.priest from'John Carroll
University, Cleveland, who will be on
hand Saturdays and Sundays, The Sun
has been informed.
Accordingly, there will be three
Masses every Sunday at St. Paul's,
beginning next Sunday, at 6:30, 8:00
and 10:30 a.m. There also will be a
j Mass every Sunday at the St. Terese
chapel, Middlebranch, at 9:30 a.m.
It has not yet been definitely decided, but in all probability, beginning with the first Sunday in the new
year, the time of Sunday Masses in
North Canton will be changed to 7:00,
S:30 and 11 a.m.
A Popular Pastor
The Rev. Father Kotheimei1 is one
of the most popular priests in the
Cleveland diocese. In North Canton
and the surrounding district he enjoys the friendship and confidence
of hundreds of men and women belonging to other denominations. He
has been here about eight years.
He is what is known as a "mixer,"
and in the Community Building he
takes part in bowling, billiards and
other games. He is especially popular
with men. As a rule a priest leads a
lonely life, and Father Kotheimer is
no exception, but he does find time
to mingle with his fellow townsmen,
and they enjoy his company. Perhaps
one reason for his popularity is that
the golden precept of fair play goes
with him in his relations with his people, his neighbors and humanity in
general.
Loves His Fellow Man
His nature is rich also in another
quality, the quality of generosity. He
has a warm feeling for his fellow-
man, a willingness to respond to any
call which seems to him one of real
service, in little things as in large.
He is a thorough believer in the Community Spirit as we like to.practice it
in North Canton.
Christmas time is a hard time in
the postoffices the world over, and
North Canton at this season of the
year gets its full share of hustling.
Packages, large and small; letters,
Christmas cards, calendars, and even
laundry bags float in and out with the
regularity of the tide, without fuss
or excitement.
Everyone knows his duty, and performs it in a way to meet with public approval.. Although bombarded at
times with many questions, Superintendent of Mails of the North Canton branch W. J. ; Evans and his
capable and objiging'assistants keep
"sweet," and if they: become irritable
at times they have themselves too well
in hand to show it.
The years which Bill Evans and his
clerk's have given in the postoffice are
cordially appreciated by all their fellow-citizens, who know their fine
nature, the earnestness of their desire
to keep North Canton's postal service
functioning efficiently, and the esteem
in which they are held by Postmaster
Cool, their chief, and his able assistants in Canton. Postmaster Cool, it
may be added, is a firm friend of
North Canton, arid to him the residents owe a number of the conveniences associated with the postoffice.
Everything The Sun has said for
the "men behind the windows" applies
to the two rural carriers, the town
letter-carriers, the1 special delivery
boy ancl the janitor. Eathful and efficient, the whole force is a credit to
Uncle Sam's postal department, ancl
The Sun, on behalf of the people,
wishes them a Merry Christmas.
The employes of this branch of the
Canton postoffice are:
Superintendent, W. J. Evans; E. L.
Warstler, Clark M. Wehl, F. L.
Heidy; R. C. Thompson, carrier; E.
J. Haijraham, carrier; William M.
Stark, carrier, R. D. 7; S. J. Surbey,

MARLBORO WINS TWO
IN THRILLING GAMES
SANTA CLAUS VISITS
LEGIONNAIRES PARTY
North Canton Post Stages One
of the Most Successful Christmas Stags In Its History—
Presents For Guests Cause of
Much Merriment.
BOSS HOOVER, SPEAKER
"Play Santa Claus yourself," ftvas
the slogan in the American Legion
room on Monday night and the Christmas spirit was rampant, although not
as the dictionary defines the word,
for was not Commander Gordon C.
Curry there with his trusty gavel
ready at all times to keep the fun
within natural bounds?
That the Legionnaires had fun—
lots of it—that tlie room was crowded
to the doors, and that all were very
happy even though they did not don
the red suit ancl white whiskers is
merely stating a fact.
Commander Curry beamed with
pleasure, and when he presented presents to W. H. (Boss) Hoover, William J. Evans, Ben Long and Clete
Miesner he did so without risking life
and limb climbing down the chimney
or driving high-spirited reindeers
around the room.
Presents For Four
In the spirit of helping these four
men forget their troubles he "introduced" each gift in a witty little
speech that caught the crowd and
drew much laughter.
The presents were wrapped in tissue
paper and tied with colored string.
When the Boss approached the ros^
trum the commander gravely handed
him a package. When opened it was
found to be a whip, such as society
ladies carry while exercising dear little Carlo in the public park.
"Use it on 'em if they don't behave," said Curry. The Boss said he
would.
Bill Evans got an airship. Long received a pencil so large that he
sprained a bone in his spinal column
"toting" it to his chair. As a member
of the Drum and Bugle corps Clete
got a little tin trumpet, and he was
sternly told by Currv that he would
be unceremoniously ejected if he played a tune on it.
Not All Fun
But even Legionnaires have their
serious moments

NELIUS
STEADMAN SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
RULES IN CHURCHES
ON SUNDAY, DEC. 22
Two Wise Guys Whose Specialty Is
"Know Your Onions Before
You Fry Them."
That Coach Bill Steadman and
Manager Raymond ("Pat") ^Nelius
know several things about basketball
is not denied, even by the loudest of
carping- critics, and the two games
played by the Hoover Sentinels bear
out this statement.
Last year the Sentinels made several strong teams resemble novices,
and as is only natural, the youngsters
felt a bit "cocky."
This year, notwithstanding that
several of last season's stars dropped
out, the old feeling was still strong in
their minds, and so it came as a decided shock when they went down to
defeat at the hands of the Shearer
Grocers, Class B champs of Canton in
1928, and regarded by many good
judges as winners of the title this
year.
Answers Steadnian's Call
Before the season opened Coacli
Steadman told Manager Nelius to
select a fast bunch for the first game
Distinctive Programs of Music,
Singing, Cantatas and Other
Features Have Been Prepared
With Reverent Thought For
Observance of Great Dav.
CHOIR DIRECTORS BUSY
Christmas is now occupying- the
thoughts of all of us, and next Sunday will echo with the music, singing-
and message of Christmas.
Programs of exceptional interest
will mark tlie celebration of the great
day and those to be presented in the
i "Get the swiftest aggregation you can I churches of North Canton and its vi-
nail," advised Steadman.
Pat did. The result was a jolt to
the Sentinels, although to their credit
be it said they did not squeal but took
their castor oil with a smile and
acknowledged that they were outclassed.
Wisdom of Handlers
And that is where tlie wisdom of
Steadman and Nelius came into play.
These two men felt deep down in their
bones that the Sentinels had little or
no chance against a gang playing airtight basketball for'several years, but
they desired to galvanize into life the
fighting spirit of the Sentinels. And
they succeeded.
That first defeat taught the North
Canton lads several things, one of
them being that it takes something
more than a last year's reputation to
win this year's victory. To quote the
ohl song, "It's not what you used to
be; it's what you are today."
They Saw the Light
The Hoover Sentinels saw a light—
and it wasn't a faint:, sickly-looking
thing such as a penny tallow dip
throws, but one resembling the search
light on a battleship. Then they understood. Their manager ancl coach
wanted them to know that to outclass
class you must be classy, and class
doesn't come in answer to wishes or
wishing.
That Second Game
The second game proved the wisdom of their handlers. True, the Goat
cinity have been prepared with reverent thought for the proper observance
of Christmas.
Choir directors, singers and organists have co-operated in preparing for
this festival, which permits the presentation of musical selections of high
order, many of them chosen from the
classical works of the great masters
of music, with also the compositions
of the more modern writers represented in the programs.
Choirs Enlarged
Choirs have been augmented for the
occasion with soloists or other singers and will have the assistance of
capable instrumentalists, including-
violinists, 'celists, pianists and players of brass instruments.
The music on Sunday in all
churches will be out of the ordinary,
as is the custom not only in North
Canton but throughout the world. Below will be found the statements of
the pastors:

On Friday night, Dec. 20, the high
school teams of North Canton will be
out to win at the expense of Middle-

attractive as the Middlebranch teams
have not lost any games this year.

"Comrades will rise and remain silent for half a minute in memory of

Badges Presented
A Past Commander's badge was
presented by Earl Herbruck to Raymond King and Paul Schick.
It was the largest meeting the Legion has known for years. The following past commanders were present
and made short, interesting addresses: John Stover, Atlee Wise, Paul
Schick, Raymond King, Earl Herbruck, Guy Price, R. L. Gerber, Lester Braucher and Homer Sloan.
Several of them told of the struggles in the early days to get the
Legion going, but just now former
World War men seem to realize that
not only is it a mark of distinction to
belong to the Legion, but it is a protection and duty they owe to them- ]
selves and families. At present North:
Canton post is enjoying the largest
membership it ever had.
Boss Hoover Speaks j
Boss Hoover was introduced as "the
godfather of the post." He said he \ Team
deeply appreciated the title and would
try to live up to it. He said he had
watched with great interest what the
members of the Legion were doing
ancl was satisfied in view of their history ancl good character that they
were carrying on well. The Legion,
he declared, stands for .such worthy
purposes and is supported bv such a J
good background that it is bound to
grow in numbers and influence. j f\rriiTfao
"Take courage, take inspiration j "1 "JlrK
from your past endeavors, love your:
country, your community, your God,|
and all will be well."
The Boss got a great reception

concluded his remarks.

The Sentinels let themselves out
from the start and the score, 39—15,
showed they remembered that first

bunch like the ones coming here on
Saturday from Ashland they may not
score so heavily; they may even lose
out, but this much is certain: From
now on the team that wallops the Sentinels will realize that it has been in
a game and that it had to work hard
to nab the victory.
All of which goes to show that the
firm of Nelius & Steadman know a
few things, and one of them is the
proper way to put the fighting spirit
into a bunch of youngsters ancl at the
same time keep them from slopping

Tomorrow evening (Thursday) the

Sunday evening the Sunday-school
Christmas program will be given at
the regular hour of evening worship.
The committee in charge has arranged a very interesting and worshipful
program entitled, "The First Christmas." In offering such a service the
hope is expressed that something has
been done to aid and encourage a more
general participation by all, both
young and old, in a worthy Christmas
program to welcome the new-born
Savior and to thank God for the gift
of His Son.
A Christmas service will also be
held Christmas morning at 9:00
o'clock and we trust that this time
of worship will be most suited to the
membership ancl the community at
large. The pastor will speak on the
theme, "The Glad Nativity."
You are cordially invited to worship
with us at the following services:

AT CHRISTMAS TIME

LET'S MAKE THEM HAPPY
[AN EDITORIAL]
A young married woman for whom
The Sun has the profoundest respect
came info the editorial room of this
newspaper or Monday morning and
'"•■said:
"Would it be asking too much for
a few lines in favor of the sick World
War, men in the hospitals in Massillon, Dayton and other parts of Ohio?
The American Legion and Legion
Auxiliary are doing everything in
their power to make these poor fellows more comfortable this Christ-
- mas, but they need the help of the
general public. We know The Sun has
always been generous with space when
dealing with World War men, and we
want you to know that we deeply appreciate it."
Duty of a Newspaper
Of course it ple.ases The Sun to
know that its effort in behalf of any
worthy cause is appreciated, but in a
large measure it is the duty of a
newspaper to get behind and push
any movement having for its object
the welfare of the sick veterans. Assuredly they have earned all the comforts of life. In the hospitals are men
whose health and strength were broken and whose bodies were warped-
beyond the power of self support in-
unselfish service to the nation and al)
of its people. The-ma jority gave to us
the means they should have for supplying themselves with the things that
f.re aids'to Christmas joy.
Let the Public Remember
And so that their sacrifice'will not
have been altogether in vain, The Sun
calls upon all the people to contribute
something and #thus help make these
poor fellows happy. If you think that
the boys-who sacrificed their health
and strength in your service earned
their meed of Christmas happiness,
call up a member of the Amei-ican
Legion or a member of the Legion
Auxiliary in the town in which you
live ancl your contribution will be recorded and the total used to the best
advantage in the purpose for which it
"was intended.
Told Without
Varnish
Charles J. Corey Will Stay In Canton
Is the Pleasing, News.
PASTOR OF ST. PAUL'S
WILL GET ASSISTANT
By BEN LONG
ANNOUNCEMENT was made orr
Friday that Charles J. Corey had
resigned as general manager of
the Troy Laundry company of Canton after 30 years service and would
take a "much needed rest."
The former president of the Canton Rotary club will not be lost to the
business world of that city, as it is
hia intention' to put on the harness
after his vacation. This is indeed
pleasing news. Charles J. Corey is too
valuable a man to enter permanent
retirement. Modest and unassuming,
possessed of a keen intelligence nutur-
ed by much reading and a quick responding wit, as his hundreds of
friends in Rotary where he is much
loved know, he has always been interested in the advancement of Canton
and this part' of Stark county, and his
work in assisting to develop the famous Troy Laundry company showed
his prodigious energy, his high character and his business genius.
t t t
IT WAS his boast, modestly uttered,
at a meeting in North Canton, that
"Our-laundry sticks to its ideals
and high standards, and although we
believe at times certain patrons seek
to take advantage of -us we never
question their veracity."
Mr. Corey's knowledge of the dry
cleanings of garments is profound, and
his expert advice is always at the call
of other.investigators.. With unparalleled generosity he gives freely of his
jjrofessipnal experience to everyone
;who approaches him. His analysis of
-every problem is clear and exhaustive.
.-■-it * t ^
His.-genius and force as an organizer are too well known to be explained
in this article. His spirit of friendship, a deep and generous regard for
the men round about him, his faithfulness, his quick force of feeljng for
others, place him is the first rank of
Canton's foremost citizens, and this
writer for The Sun is delighted to
hear that Charley Corey, one of Stark
county's most inspiring individual
forces, is going to remain in Canton as
an institution.

S. S. Empress of Russia, November
17, 1929.
Editors The Sun: Just a few words
about our journey as we are speeding
on our way to China.
The voyage has certainly been most
delightful this far, the weather has
been good and the sea fairly calm
with the exception of several days
when we were in a rather severe
storm. The mountainous waves were
rolling over the lower decks and the
wind was blowing with the force of a
typhoon, eighty miles an hour. We
were very fortunate in not being-
bothered with sea-sickness. . We felt
rather light-headed the first day or so
but we soon became accustomed to
the motion of the ship.
Lost a Day While Asleep
We had the unique experience of
only having six days in the first week
we were out of Vancouver. We crossed the 180th meridian from which
the international date is fixed, went
to bed Thursday evening and woke up
Saturday morning. All of our days
have been twenty-five hours long since
leaving because of the fact that we
are traveling west.
Our ship stopped at three ports in
Japan; Yokohama, Kobe, and Nagasaki. We took the train trip from Yokohama to Kobe and boarded our ship
again there to continue on our way.
We left Yokohama at 10:30 in the
morning- and arrived in Kyoto at 8:00
that evening.
It was our first experience of being
alone in a foreign country and what
a great time ive had. Miss Ruth Hammer, a former Canton, Ohio, girl,
working now in the Canadian Pacific
office at Yokohama, helped us in purchasing our railway tickets and she
was the last English speaking person
we saw that day. .

has been informed.
Accordingly, there will be three
Masses every Sunday at St. Paul's,
beginning next Sunday, at 6:30, 8:00
and 10:30 a.m. There also will be a
j Mass every Sunday at the St. Terese
chapel, Middlebranch, at 9:30 a.m.
It has not yet been definitely decided, but in all probability, beginning with the first Sunday in the new
year, the time of Sunday Masses in
North Canton will be changed to 7:00,
S:30 and 11 a.m.
A Popular Pastor
The Rev. Father Kotheimei1 is one
of the most popular priests in the
Cleveland diocese. In North Canton
and the surrounding district he enjoys the friendship and confidence
of hundreds of men and women belonging to other denominations. He
has been here about eight years.
He is what is known as a "mixer,"
and in the Community Building he
takes part in bowling, billiards and
other games. He is especially popular
with men. As a rule a priest leads a
lonely life, and Father Kotheimer is
no exception, but he does find time
to mingle with his fellow townsmen,
and they enjoy his company. Perhaps
one reason for his popularity is that
the golden precept of fair play goes
with him in his relations with his people, his neighbors and humanity in
general.
Loves His Fellow Man
His nature is rich also in another
quality, the quality of generosity. He
has a warm feeling for his fellow-
man, a willingness to respond to any
call which seems to him one of real
service, in little things as in large.
He is a thorough believer in the Community Spirit as we like to.practice it
in North Canton.
Christmas time is a hard time in
the postoffices the world over, and
North Canton at this season of the
year gets its full share of hustling.
Packages, large and small; letters,
Christmas cards, calendars, and even
laundry bags float in and out with the
regularity of the tide, without fuss
or excitement.
Everyone knows his duty, and performs it in a way to meet with public approval.. Although bombarded at
times with many questions, Superintendent of Mails of the North Canton branch W. J. ; Evans and his
capable and objiging'assistants keep
"sweet," and if they: become irritable
at times they have themselves too well
in hand to show it.
The years which Bill Evans and his
clerk's have given in the postoffice are
cordially appreciated by all their fellow-citizens, who know their fine
nature, the earnestness of their desire
to keep North Canton's postal service
functioning efficiently, and the esteem
in which they are held by Postmaster
Cool, their chief, and his able assistants in Canton. Postmaster Cool, it
may be added, is a firm friend of
North Canton, arid to him the residents owe a number of the conveniences associated with the postoffice.
Everything The Sun has said for
the "men behind the windows" applies
to the two rural carriers, the town
letter-carriers, the1 special delivery
boy ancl the janitor. Eathful and efficient, the whole force is a credit to
Uncle Sam's postal department, ancl
The Sun, on behalf of the people,
wishes them a Merry Christmas.
The employes of this branch of the
Canton postoffice are:
Superintendent, W. J. Evans; E. L.
Warstler, Clark M. Wehl, F. L.
Heidy; R. C. Thompson, carrier; E.
J. Haijraham, carrier; William M.

MARLBORO WINS TWO
IN THRILLING GAMES
SANTA CLAUS VISITS
LEGIONNAIRES PARTY
North Canton Post Stages One
of the Most Successful Christmas Stags In Its History—
Presents For Guests Cause of
Much Merriment.
BOSS HOOVER, SPEAKER
"Play Santa Claus yourself," ftvas
the slogan in the American Legion
room on Monday night and the Christmas spirit was rampant, although not
as the dictionary defines the word,
for was not Commander Gordon C.
Curry there with his trusty gavel
ready at all times to keep the fun
within natural bounds?
That the Legionnaires had fun—
lots of it—that tlie room was crowded
to the doors, and that all were very
happy even though they did not don
the red suit ancl white whiskers is
merely stating a fact.
Commander Curry beamed with
pleasure, and when he presented presents to W. H. (Boss) Hoover, William J. Evans, Ben Long and Clete
Miesner he did so without risking life
and limb climbing down the chimney
or driving high-spirited reindeers
around the room.
Presents For Four
In the spirit of helping these four
men forget their troubles he "introduced" each gift in a witty little
speech that caught the crowd and
drew much laughter.
The presents were wrapped in tissue
paper and tied with colored string.
When the Boss approached the ros^
trum the commander gravely handed
him a package. When opened it was
found to be a whip, such as society
ladies carry while exercising dear little Carlo in the public park.
"Use it on 'em if they don't behave," said Curry. The Boss said he
would.
Bill Evans got an airship. Long received a pencil so large that he
sprained a bone in his spinal column
"toting" it to his chair. As a member
of the Drum and Bugle corps Clete
got a little tin trumpet, and he was
sternly told by Currv that he would
be unceremoniously ejected if he played a tune on it.
Not All Fun
But even Legionnaires have their
serious moments

NELIUS
STEADMAN SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
RULES IN CHURCHES
ON SUNDAY, DEC. 22
Two Wise Guys Whose Specialty Is
"Know Your Onions Before
You Fry Them."
That Coach Bill Steadman and
Manager Raymond ("Pat") ^Nelius
know several things about basketball
is not denied, even by the loudest of
carping- critics, and the two games
played by the Hoover Sentinels bear
out this statement.
Last year the Sentinels made several strong teams resemble novices,
and as is only natural, the youngsters
felt a bit "cocky."
This year, notwithstanding that
several of last season's stars dropped
out, the old feeling was still strong in
their minds, and so it came as a decided shock when they went down to
defeat at the hands of the Shearer
Grocers, Class B champs of Canton in
1928, and regarded by many good
judges as winners of the title this
year.
Answers Steadnian's Call
Before the season opened Coacli
Steadman told Manager Nelius to
select a fast bunch for the first game
Distinctive Programs of Music,

Christmas is now occupying- the

and message of Christmas.
Programs of exceptional interest
will mark tlie celebration of the great
day and those to be presented in the
i "Get the swiftest aggregation you can I churches of North Canton and its vi-
nail," advised Steadman.
Pat did. The result was a jolt to
the Sentinels, although to their credit
be it said they did not squeal but took
their castor oil with a smile and
acknowledged that they were outclassed.
Wisdom of Handlers
And that is where tlie wisdom of
Steadman and Nelius came into play.
These two men felt deep down in their
bones that the Sentinels had little or
no chance against a gang playing airtight basketball for'several years, but
they desired to galvanize into life the
fighting spirit of the Sentinels. And
they succeeded.
That first defeat taught the North
Canton lads several things, one of
them being that it takes something
more than a last year's reputation to
win this year's victory. To quote the
ohl song, "It's not what you used to
be; it's what you are today."
They Saw the Light
The Hoover Sentinels saw a light—
and it wasn't a faint:, sickly-looking
thing such as a penny tallow dip
throws, but one resembling the search
light on a battleship. Then they understood. Their manager ancl coach
wanted them to know that to outclass
class you must be classy, and class
doesn't come in answer to wishes or
wishing.
That Second Game
The second game proved the wisdom of their handlers. True, the Goat
cinity have been prepared with reverent thought for the proper observance
of Christmas.
Choir directors, singers and organists have co-operated in preparing for
this festival, which permits the presentation of musical selections of high
order, many of them chosen from the
classical works of the great masters
of music, with also the compositions
of the more modern writers represented in the programs.
Choirs Enlarged
Choirs have been augmented for the
occasion with soloists or other singers and will have the assistance of
capable instrumentalists, including-
violinists, 'celists, pianists and players of brass instruments.
The music on Sunday in all
churches will be out of the ordinary,
as is the custom not only in North
Canton but throughout the world. Below will be found the statements of
the pastors:

On Friday night, Dec. 20, the high
school teams of North Canton will be
out to win at the expense of Middle-

attractive as the Middlebranch teams
have not lost any games this year.

and led at half time, 8 to 5. Their defense was not as strong in the last
period and Marlboro connected for

"Comrades will rise and remain silent for half a minute in memory of

Badges Presented
A Past Commander's badge was
presented by Earl Herbruck to Raymond King and Paul Schick.
It was the largest meeting the Legion has known for years. The following past commanders were present
and made short, interesting addresses: John Stover, Atlee Wise, Paul
Schick, Raymond King, Earl Herbruck, Guy Price, R. L. Gerber, Lester Braucher and Homer Sloan.
Several of them told of the struggles in the early days to get the
Legion going, but just now former
World War men seem to realize that
not only is it a mark of distinction to
belong to the Legion, but it is a protection and duty they owe to them- ]
selves and families. At present North:
Canton post is enjoying the largest
membership it ever had.
Boss Hoover Speaks j
Boss Hoover was introduced as "the
godfather of the post." He said he \ Team
deeply appreciated the title and would
try to live up to it. He said he had
watched with great interest what the
members of the Legion were doing
ancl was satisfied in view of their history ancl good character that they
were carrying on well. The Legion,
he declared, stands for .such worthy
purposes and is supported bv such a J
good background that it is bound to
grow in numbers and influence. j f\rriiTfao
"Take courage, take inspiration j "1 "JlrK
from your past endeavors, love your:
country, your community, your God,|
and all will be well."
The Boss got a great reception

concluded his remarks.

The Sentinels let themselves out
from the start and the score, 39—15,
showed they remembered that first

bunch like the ones coming here on
Saturday from Ashland they may not
score so heavily; they may even lose
out, but this much is certain: From
now on the team that wallops the Sentinels will realize that it has been in
a game and that it had to work hard
to nab the victory.
All of which goes to show that the
firm of Nelius & Steadman know a
few things, and one of them is the
proper way to put the fighting spirit
into a bunch of youngsters ancl at the
same time keep them from slopping

program to welcome the new-born
Savior and to thank God for the gift
of His Son.
A Christmas service will also be
held Christmas morning at 9:00
o'clock and we trust that this time
of worship will be most suited to the
